The tank appears to be leaking. I wish to replace it. It does not look like it will come out from the top. But, I can't seem to get to it from the bottom.

Can any one provide me with the proper steps of removal?

Thank You

Should pull straight out from the top. Take off the reservoir cap, grasp firmly with your thumb in the opening and fingers on outside of reservoir, then pull straight up out of the metal bracket.

 

Correction. I been having a drink and misread your post, thinking it was the radiator reservoir.

For the washer reservoir, there should be one bolt (probably 10 mm) to remove. You probably have to unplug the pump first.

 

Thank You for the quick response. I pulled the bolt and bracket from the front metal. The top of the reservoir comes off just fine. This appears to be just the neck of the bottle. The rest of the bottle appears to be mounted to metal from the bottom of car.

Though, when I look under the car I can't see the bottle. Am I missing something obvious?

 

It may be a little bit more involved. Sometimes you have to partly remove the wheel well cover (inner fender), to access several bolts holding the washer reservoir.

 

Here are some instruction from Autozone's site.

I am sorry for the dumb question, but is the removal of the inner cover easy? Is it just screwed in place? Do I need to take the wheel off?

The amount of auto work I have done to date is simple oil changes.

Thanks so much

 

Usually it is easier after the wheel is taken off to access the screws and clips holding the wheel well cover on. Depending on the access, sometimes you can remove a few screws and clips in the front part of the cover, without removing the whole cover. Good luck.
